You are perfect

Clays pov:

It's the next day and the pairs that Ms. Chloe chose are now learning the choreography of the dance

Everyone seems hyped and looks forward to be chosen

But George...he seems...sad?

Something is wrong I can feel it, is it because I'm his pair? What if I'm not good enough? I should probably ask him what's going on

Now we learned a small part of the dance and now Ms.Chloe calls out every pair one by one to show her

The 2nd pair is dancing right now and we are gonna be next I'm really nervous

George still hasn't spoken a word to me and never even looked at me in the eyes, it's like he's avoiding them

"Hey George, is everything okay?" I ask him

It's like he snapped out of his thoughts and turned his head to look at me with confused watery eyes

"Whats wrong?" I ask worriedly

"Did I do something? Do you not want me as a pair?" I panic he looks like he's scared

"No no it's not because of you..." He emotionlessly answers

"Then what it is?"

"It's just...it's..um..I'm worried what if we get the roles and someone would push m-" He starts to sob and hides his face into his little soft hands

Oh no oh no no no, it's gonna be our turn soon

"George don't even worry about that, no one would do that, if someone even comes near you they'll regret that" I hug him tightly, he is crying into my chest quietly

Everyone is looking at the dancing pair so no one sees us literally hugging

"Don't be scared George I'll always be there for you, no matter what" I say

He lifts his head and we make eye contact the silence is comforting

"Thank you Clay" He says and gives a small smile

His eyes are puffy and a little red, I want to just cuddle him right now

What the hell is wrong with me, we're just friends

"Alright that was pretty good, now pair number 3....wait who's number 3? Oh yeah Clay and George" Ms. Chloe says and gives us a smile

I let go George and we go to the middle

We stand in the pose, Ms.Chloe starts the music

And it begins...

Song recommendation: Tchaikovsky Swan Lake, Op. 20, Act II: No. 10, Scene. Moderato (Idk if there is actually a dance where it's this song and a duo dance, let's just imagine there is)

George starts to dance on his point shoes (I know male ballet dancers usually don't wear point shoes but let's just imagine they do :D )

I don't wear the point shoes because I'm the one lifting and he mostly does the dancing parts

He's so elegant and I just loose myself to him dancing

I'm also dancing trying my best to also look as light and elegant

We are apart right now, doing our own dances away from each other

The music is so peaceful and calming, the room fell quite and I feel like it's just me and George dancing and just floating away

Nothing special right now

I glance over to him and he's just so beautiful, it's truly mesmerising to see him dance, especially to this majestic piece
